t.in Of tho Boomer club. baseball nine in
an adjoining city, recently received a chal-
lenge from n rival club to play, which he nc
ceptcd. Before the game took place, how
ever, he prepared two reports for the local
papers, either one Of which could be used as
occasion demanded. One set forth in glowing
terms victorious result for the nine. The
other merely left a space for his score, with
this concluding comment: "The game was

SHIPS BEFORE STEAM.
FROM THE SERPENTS OF THE
NILE TO NELSON'S LINE SHIPS.

Incomplete Records which Leave tho
Character of the Ships of Antiquity
Somewhat In Doubt-The Use of Oars
singIy and Combined with Sails.
Primitive man must have very early found
out that us wood would float. all he had to do
to enjoy ride on the water was to place
himself on piece Of floating wood large
enough TO bear his weight Whoever made
this discovery and put 1t to practical use was
the first navigator. 1t could not have been
long before it was discovered that floating
logs could he propelled by polling in shallow
water and by sculling in greater depths
Then followed, no doubt, tho raft, the canoe
and more finished craft.
But as to who made any Of these discover
les, or as to who first used the oar or the sail,
there is no record. 1t is certain that very
early in the worlds history mankind navi-
gated the rivers and lakes and the edges OF
the seas, and as almost all commercial rela-
tions were sustained by means Of navigation,
the sailors Of the early ages, as sailors have
ever been, were held in high repute rs to
bravery and hardness and manliness.
Among the earliest craft of which we have
any record are the boats Of the river Nile,
and our knowledge Of them is gained from
the representations thereof to be found on
Egyptian monuments. A reproduction is
here given, from which it is apparent that
oars, each worked by a single man. were used,
but no sails The steering apparatus was a
huge oar fixed in the stern. Many boats of a
much more ornamental character IRE figured
on the old Egyptian monuments, and some OF
them, especially the war boats, were propelled
by oars each manned by two men. some by
oars in two hanks Instead of one, etc. Later
In Egypts history sails were also used, but

example of their style Of ships is given. The
Spaniards, too. built fine ships both for COM
mercial and fighting purposes, and the i'll
fated Spanish Armada was the wonder of the
age. 1t was about this time that the English,
island bred, began to excel as sailors and ship
builders, and they were most influential in
the abolition of the clumsy heavy wooden
castles at each end of the ship; popularity
of construction TO which the Spaniards chung
till a comparatively late date.
The cut Of the "Flying Dutchmnn" given
with this presents very fair idea of the bet
ter class of ships of about this period, though
1t does not show the wooden castles spoken Of
in anything like their most extravagant de-
velopment. They were not handsome ships,
Judged by modern standard Of maritime
taste But they were not trustworthy and
were often used for very long voyages. In
fact, Christopher Colon, whom we usually
speak Of as Christopher Columbus, sailed far
enough when he made the voyage that gave
this continent TO mankind, but he was long
time about 1t.
There Is an immense contrast be-
tween the ships Of the Flying Dutch
man pattern and those of the Eigh-
tenth century. Perhaps the best ex-
amples Of the style of the naval architecture
Of that period may DO found In Nelson's first
raters," or ships Of the line of the English
navy, of one Of which cut is given, and
which differs almost as much from the ships
Of 800 years before as from the modern ocean

they we're of very simple cut. 1t was
centuries, probably, before the galley form
of vessel, of which the Nile "serpents" were
a primitive form, was abandoned for pur-
poses Of war; and we hear of galleys as fight
ing boats as late rs 1887, when the English
man, Drake, destroyed SO many Of them off
Cadiz. They were used by the Norsemen as
well as on the Mediterranean, but the Morse
men used sails very extensively, too. The
only advantage possessed by galleys as fight
ing boats over sailing vessels was the ability
TO work against the wind. But this was moro
than counterbalanced by the unseaworthi-
ness of the galley and the manifest superiority
of the sailer when there was n bit of n breeze.
Merchant vessels earlyabandoned oars save
as auxiliaries to their sails, and in the Fiji
teenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries
great progress was made. The Dutch were q

HON. EUGENE sEMPLE tics "Fifty-four
